Hmmm, I knew this was an obscure show, but no one else remembers it? Really? Well, I guess it's up to me to tell you all about the horror that was Pappyland. It was basically a really bad cross between Mr. Rogers' Neighborhood and The Joy of Painting. Every episode would begin with Pappy Drew-It, a grizzled yet friendly old cowboy, walking into his house and greeting us, the lucky home audience. Yay for us. Stuff that I can't really remember right now would happen in the house, then he would go into some magical, puppet-inhabited rip-off of Mr. Rogers' Land of Make Believe, where he would learn valuable morals (groan) with his woodland friends, including Turtle Lou, who probably had the worst Italian accent I've ever heard. While dealing with his friends' issues, he'd teach the audience to draw a picture that was connected in some way with the solution. After the daily moral dilemma had been wrapped up by drawing a pretty picture, Sing-Along Sam would sing a song to reiterate the lesson we all just learned. After that bit of musical bliss, Pappy would go back home, then bid us farewell.
How, you may ask, do I know so much about this show which I thoroughly dislike? Easy. It used to come on one of our local PBS stations, and I watched it every single freaking day with my brother, who loved to watch the twin tortures of Pappyland and the Shelly T. Turtle Show (which is so obscure that it's not even on IMDb!!). But I think that the fact no one has commented on this show until just now really says something about just how (un)memorable this show is.
